Style Collage: Royal in Blue

Hello! I've decided to make a Style Collage post to go with the previous Anne Analysis post. I really wanted to do something that was perfect for walks through the park. But of course, this post needed to have a bit of that beautifully bold blue that we were talking about. So, I started by looking for a really simple royal blue dress. I admit the search was hard. But the very last dress in the results, was the perfect one! After I had the dress, I went on to pick the prettiest garden-approriate tights. That search was easy! I found the most gorgeous Garden Hosiery Tights right away! After I had plucked the perfect tights for this fab outfit, I went on to the challenge of picking shoes. I wanted to feature some of that royal blue hue in the shoes, but it didn't look right with the dress and the tights. So I started leaning towards black shoes, but it looked too dark and heavy in comparison to the light and airy look I currently had. After much pondering, I decided to look at both coloured shoes and pick whichever looked the most marvelous. Thank goodness for Giuseppe Zanotti! He had the most spot-on black and blue velvet booties waiting for me! They were perfect! Black and blue! Glamorous and simple! I couldn't have asked for anything better! After I had found the right shoes for the collage, I went on to jewelry. The very first thing I saw was added to my collection without a thought! A gold chain necklace flaunted a charm, which was an exquisite crown placed inside of a square frame with beautifully detailed floral edges. It looked simply marvelous next to the dress! Afterwards, I decided to pick out a simple gold ring. Simplicity is beauty! Now for the actual beauty, I needed to pick out the perfect colour of lip pencil to pair with an already bold blue! Thank goodness for NYX! They had the perfect color of red for the job! And M.A.C had matching lipstick awaiting me! What luck! Now, here is the finished collage.

Description: Strolling through the grounds, your dark blackish blue heels click against the stony pavement. Your garden perfect tights accentuate your prancing legs as you wind around the corner. Your royal blue wispy dress blows slightly in the faint breeze. Your golden crown necklace and simple gold band ring make you feel like royalty! As you look down into the stirring waters of the fish pond, you can clearly see your perfect light red lips sparkling in the ripples. Life is good, and you enjoy it!

Until next time! Enjoy the start of a new week!

Hello!

Hello! I know it has been awhile since I have kept to my original Passion for Fashion schedule or posted a Style Secrets post or other things like it. But do not fear that I have forgotten! I had only been making too many style collages to post, so I had to stop doing any other posts so that I could send all of my collages out. But now I have finally been able to slow down and continue submitting all of the articles as before! If you need a refresh on the types of articles you'll be seeing, click here! Get ready! Anne Analysis is coming up soon!
